Deep Learning and Signal-Processing Methods for Multisensor Data Fusion: Applications to Ambulatory Health Monitoring
暫譯: 深度學習與信號處理方法在多感測器數據融合中的應用：行動健康監測的應用

本書專注於可穿戴設備的多感測器融合演算法的開發，這些演算法在使用信號處理和基於深度學習的方法進行的行動健康監測中非常有用。所描述的演算法考慮了融合前的信號品質，以便在不增加額外計算負擔的情況下實現可靠的推斷。所討論的內容對於多感測器融合的廣泛應用是有益的，因為在最後幾章中開發或討論的演算法是最初幾章中開發方法的概括案例，對更廣泛的多感測器融合社群具有相關性。

Barry Cardiff graduated with a B.Eng from the Electronic Engineering department in UCD in 1992 and an M.Eng.Sc (by research) thereafter. In 2011 obtained a PhD, as a mature student in the field of Digital Signal Processing (DSP) for wireless and optical communications. Worked for as a design Engineer for Nokia Mobile Phone (UK) Ltd from 1993 to 2001 working on some of world's more advanced and innovative products culminating in the role of Chief Engineer and as a contributor to the 3GPP standardization process. Moved to Ireland in 2001 to work as a Systems Architect in Silicon & Software Systems (S3 group) working mainly on embedded hardware / software development projects with applications ranging from wireless communications to hearing aids. Continued to work for S3 group for several years after a break between 2007-2011 to obtain a PhD from UCD under Prof. Tony Fagan with a thesis entitled "Detection Techniques in Vector Systems in Communications". In September 2013 joined the academic staff in UCD to complement the teaching staff both in Dublin and in a joint collaboration in Beijing (BDIC). Research interests are in the area of DSP applications mainly in communication systems both in the theoretical analysis and practical advancement of such systems. The area of power / complexity reduction techniques in circuit design, i.e. DSP algorithms for digitally assisted analog circuits, is also of current interest.
